Fear of approaching a woman is one of the most common fear that men have. Some guys have it worse than others do, but the fact is that ANYONE can learn to approach a woman. But there’s a trick to it.

The trick is that you just have to start doing it. You know, the Nike slogan “Just Do It”? That’s the whole trick.

You don’t have to memorize anything. You don’t have to practice for hours on end in order to get your courage up. You simply have to start.

“But, what if I get rejected?” Let me make it easy for you. You’re going to get rejected. It’s not because you smell, are stupid, or anything else like that. It’s simply the law of averages.

Every guy in the world has worried about rejection at one time or another. The difference between the ones that are successful at meeting women and the one who aren’t is that the guys that are successful didn’t let the rejection stop them. They took the rejection as an opportunity to learn what didn’t work. Then got back out there and tried again.

You don’t have to ask a woman out on a date in order to learn how to approach her. Just start by saying ‘hello’. Compliment her, ask for the time, ask for directions; it doesn’t matter. The point is to become comfortable at approaching women in general.

Start out small if you’re really terrified. Approach one woman a day for one week. Use a generic question or greet her. Week two, approach three women a day for a week; same formula. On the third week, approach three women a day for one week, but start a conversation with at least one of them each day. Use this technique to build up you self-confidence and to get some practice.
